The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a campaign of the [[Great Crusade]]. The campaign was waged shortly before the [[Horus Heresy]] when much of the [[Emperor's Children]], [[Fulgrim]] included, were already on the road to corruption.{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==The campaign saw the Emperor's Children and [[Iron Hands]] work together to clear [[Ork]] forces on the space station Deep Orbital DS-191 in the [[Callinedes System]]. {{Fn|1}} Hundreds of Astartes had fought during this battle, including [[Lucius]] and [[Tarvitz]] of the Emperor's Children.{{Fn|2}} In truth, it the battle was used as an opportunity to try and bring [[Ferrus Manus]] into [[Horus]]' fold. As the rift between those closer to Fulgrim and those who would ultimately remain loyal to the [[Emperor]] was festering within the Legion, commanders such as [[Solomon Demeter]] were unsupported by those closer to the Primarch such as [[Eidolon]], [[Marius Vairosean]], and [[Julius Kaesoron]]. While ultimately the Emperor's Children prevailed, Commander [[Vespasian]] saw their actions as dishonorable, and when he protested to Fulgrim he was murdered by the corrupted Primarch.{{Fn|1}}
